Hope this doesn't change the subject too much, Don said "I believe God has an exit strategy for each of us."

I once had an experience that basically made the same point.

On a video Howard Storm said that everybody experiences what they need to experience after they die in order to advance. (This doesn't mean that they don't sometimes get stuck someplace for a while.)

PMH Atwater said that NDERs experience what they need to experience, even when they have a negative experience. (she researched over 4,000 NDEs).

So perhaps someone is looking out for us.

Thank you 

I have encountered a few Christians who have the gift of healing.  I  am not one of them, though my prayer groups have seen astounding miracles over the years.  Jesus praises faith when he finds it, especially among unrespected Gentiles such as Roman soldiers, but He laments doubt when His disciples' prayers have proven ineffective. 

The truth is that "faith" is just a word and we know very little about the precise state of mind that is ideal for miraculous healings.  I have had troubling experiences when I was asked to pray for a desperate situation and, when I did, I realized that I was either in a skeptical mindset at the time or was immersed in what seemed like "a low state of consciousness."  In such circumstances, I realized I needed a prayer support group; and when I sought it out, our combined prayers proved very effective.  I shudder at that thought that anyone has died or suffered loss because I either didn't pray for them or didn't pray properly. 

I have given 6-hour workshops on the various types of prayer and what makes them effective.  At best I can offer "necessary" but not "sufficient" conditions for the power of prayer, but I realize that, to bridge the gap between these types of conditions involves deeper self-awareness and unrecognized faith principles of which I'm incompetent to speak right now.  So the best I can do is avoid the cop-out of simply placing the needy in God's hand and putting their need out of my mind to avoid the strain of posing the toughest questions to myself.

In the "Religions and Their Beliefs" section, I will be posting testimonies of prayer requests and needs to my attention that have dramatically drawn these issues to my attention.

   I'm not speaking of close, loved ones (and grief etc), but of a person themselves passing: what is wrong with the death of a body?  Why do so many humans not understand or accept that it's more than ok, and what is true healing for a person sometimes?

  This common, persistent belief and attitude in our society of, "we have to keep everyone alive no matter what" is a reflection not of spiritual wisdom and attunement, but of other, limiting things. 

  There is NO death--it's a word without meaning or substance. Only a phasing from one focus/level to another. That's the point. This is one of the things that Bruce came to this world to help bring awareness to. And has done a good job of.

I asked Bruce and he thinks the site went up in 1995, and yes Rosalie did help create it.  I don't know what happened to her. 

Maybe Bruce will chime in on this thread.

Bruce?   

Thanks for the site Bruce. I hope your vacation from eternity turned out to be a good one and wish you well wherever you go next.

That's nice of you to say, Alan.  I'm sure Bruce knows how you feel.
